All plant cells have mitochondria to serve as the cell's powerhouse. Without the mitochondria in a plant cell, the cell won't be able to do its functions. Mitochondria is a complex part of cell. Chloroplast is another important organelle of a plant cell. Animals can survive without chloroplast but plants don't. Plants have chloroplasts to be able to manufacture their own food. The chloroplast traps light coming from the sun. And the light energy is a very much important ingredient of photosynthesis.
